Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog VIP Map Pack 7: Celebrate Harvest Day by Mowing Down the Opposition http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/Harvest-Day-1.png Welcome to the fourth post in our series on the upcoming Vip Map Pack 7. This time, we take you to a beautiful field in autumn time that Bad Company players will recognize instantly. Harvest Day is -- together with Oasis -- one of the most loved multiplayer maps from Battlefield: Bad Company. Back then, it was hugely popular due to its variety of vehicles and alternatives of play styles. This new and remastered version for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is no different. "Harvest Day 2.0" features heavy tanks, CAV's, and fast quads to get around this large-scale map. http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/450x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/Harvest-Day-2.png Agricultural aggression on wildly popular Harvest Day. Soon available in BC2 multiplayer for the first time. It's a very vehicle oriented map, with focused hotspots for tight infantry battles. This map can be played with all four gameplay modes, but is at its heart a big Conquest map with 4 cappable flags. We decided to go with a four flags diamond-shaped setup in order to make use of the entire map. We kept the same layout and size of the original BC1 level, and of course made use of Destruction 2.0 and all of the other improvements in our game engine since the first Bad Company. Rush mode starts with a clash between heavy tanks in the open fields. Later on, the action switches to more infantry focused gameplay through the last bases inside the village. Squad Deathmatch and Squad Rush take place exclusively in the village area, where players can make the best out of the numerous destructible buildings and the height difference that the village is displaying. And there you have it! By now you should have a good idea of all four maps in VIP Map Pack 7. As always, the map pack is free for PC and VIP players. Stay tuned for more info.

Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog VIP Map Pack 7: The Cold War is Back http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/Cold-War-1.png The third post in our series on the upcoming VIP Map Pack 7 brings you to a small village in the mountains. There sits one of the most tight and intense infantry maps for Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Cold War will be recognized by players of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 as the place for one of the singleplayer missions. It features an up until now quiet village high up in the mountains, located deep inside Russian territory. The game mode of choice is Rush, with the Russian team deploying a surprise counter attack in order to win back the US controlled area. In stark contrast to the vehicle based gameplay in Heavy Metal, Cold War is solely focused on close quarter combat because of the narrow alleyways in the village. Being a remix of the original singleplayer map, in multiplayer the Russians are attacking from the opposite direction, downhill, with the ultimate goal to push the US team out onto the frozen river. Cold War was specifically chosen for Map Pack 7 because of its wonderful winter setting and multitude of pathways where players can face each other head on. We also wanted a map to complement the bigger, vehicle-based, ones. Come back tomorrow for a full run through of Harvest Day – one more fan favorite from Battlefield: Bad Company that makes a glorious return in VIP Map Pack 7.

Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog Who Wants a Shiny Dogtag? http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/400x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/100_5F00_1977.JPG It will not be easy, I promise you that Would you like to get your hands on this shiny dogtag? Let me explain how this works then Since I dropped my last laptop right to the ground and the hard drive died, I did the only possible thing: I ran quickly to the store and bought myself a new one. Since this is a real powerhouse worthy of the name "annihilator", I'm really eager to try it out with the rest of the community. Unless Stockholm's entire power supply goes down when I plug it in, I'm announcing a frag night tonight from 20:00 PM CET to 24:00 CET. I'm looking forward to 4 hours of fun and intense battles! Keep checking my Twitter to see what server I am playing on at the moment. Also, there is one special thing about this evening. The first 10 players who knife me will be rewarded with a shiny stainless steel Battlefield: Bad Company 2 dogtag from my very own collection. All you need to do is get the kill, and then submit a screenshot on the EA UK Forums for verification. Hope to see you online tonight. Peace! //www.twitter.com/zh1nt0 http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=33127 More...

Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog VIP Map Pack 7: This is Heavy Metal http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/Heavy-Metal-1.png Welcome to the second post in our series on the upcoming VIP Map Pack 7. Today, we revisit the single player map Heavy Metal -- now turned into one of the largest multiplayer maps for Battlefield: Bad Company 2. For VIP Map Pack 7, we always knew we wanted the classics Oasis and Harvest Day. But we also know that our players love huge battlefields with plenty of vehicles. So we went back to the singleplayer campaign in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 to see what we could take from there and transform into new multiplayer maps. We wanted a level that could incorporate both vehicle warfare and close quarters battle. We found that in Heavy Metal. http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/450x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/Blog_5F00_HeavyMetal_5F00_01.png Heavy Metal features both attack and transport helicopters. The multiplayer game mode of choice on this remastered version of Heavy Metal is Conquest, with the classic three flag setup. The three flags are spread over the entire terrain. This seemed like a crazy idea at first -- this map is even bigger than Atacama Desert -- but we stuck to it, and it turned out to provide a real sense of epic scale. There are plenty of vehicles here, and they will spawn on captured bases, so players will not feel stranded if they decide to move to another base. If an enemy chopper happens to stop by for a rocket-filled visit, anti air guns are provided in strategic locations to keep the air battles balanced and the home bases safe. http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/450x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/Blog_5F00_HeavyMetal_5F00_02.png Warning: Travelling by foot on Heavy Metal can feel a bit daunting. We hope you enjoy this immense battlefield when VIP Map Pack 7 goes live. Be sure to check back regularly for the very latest information on everything Battlefield. Next Wednesday, we take an in-depth look at Cold War, the third map in VIP Map Pack 7. For more info on VIP Map Pack 7, check out the original post. For more info on Battlefield: Bad Company 2, visit the Official Site. Correction: This Monday, we reported the multiplayer modes for all maps in VIP Map Pack 7. For Heavy Metal, the correct modes are Conquest and Squad Deathmatch. http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=32389 More...
